A small number beside a claim points to its paper here. Open it and you can see whether researchers studied adults, animals, or cells.

What the small numbers beside claims help you check

Where did each claim come from? The CJC-1295 Ipamorelin references below match the small numbers printed beside the findings.

Items 1–6 cover what the drugs did alone, what two related drugs did together, and where harm may arise. Items 7–12 cover other drugs, side effects, and newer reviews.

Some studies used tesamorelin or a pill called MK-677, which also tells the growth gland to work. Other studies used animals or cells, and each claim tells you which one.

I'd begin with the paper linked to the claim you care about. Every paper tied to your claim appears in this list.
